• This question came from a member: "Are the 3541 postal forms that are sent to the post office with each daily or weekly mailing of the newspaper open to the public or to competitors?"

Max Heath, the most knowledgeable person in America on postal issues for newspapers, gave this response: "No, not since the mid-1990s, when PMG Runyon blocked them off. The 3526 (the annual Publisher's Statement) is it. Same for 3602-R for Standard Mail."
